Northwestern is one of the top theatre schools in the nation and an incredible local resource for seeing the future famous on stage, and giving the next generation of theatre artists/cast/crew/story tellers a place to hone their craft. I'm more than a bit proud that my son is currently a junior there, majoring in Theatre Arts. We've been out to many main stage shows at Wirtz, and many smaller shows at numerous venues on campus over the years. One of our favorite offerings remains their family friendly Imagine U series. If you have littles in your life and/or enjoy children's theatre, don't miss this! I'll be out to see Mu Lan with my son on February 26th, and can't wait.
When Mu Lan dresses up as a boy to take her father's place in the army, she has lots to learn and lots to prove, but her biggest battle might be with her confidence. This new telling of an ancient Chinese legend mixes traditional Chinese theatrical techniques with contemporary music for a brand-new take on a classic story of girl power.
